My Favorite Room: Sterling K. Brown lets work enter his evolved man cave

"There wasn't anything particularly inviting to the eye. It was a de facto pool house and held most of our storage. Things just started to spill out, the pingpong table was covered with clothes and boxes, the fake Christmas tree was sitting in front of a bookshelf. What was once a sanctuary became a way station. We needed some help."

"Until now, I didn't have a safe space to display it. It wasn't false modesty; it's very sharp. I just didn't want my 2-year-old child to impale himself on the wings. But it's nice to remind myself every once in a while that, hey, man, you won!"

Sterling K. Brown's garage was originally a disorganized storage space filled with tools, towels, and miscellaneous items, with his Emmy award boxed away. The cluttered room served as a de facto pool house where items accumulated haphazardly, including a pingpong table buried under clothes and boxes. This year, furniture company Apt2B redesigned the space into a functional man cave where Brown can prepare for projects like the upcoming "Black Panther" film. The renovated room now features proper display space for his Emmy awards, a television for watching football, and organized storage. Brown, who stars in NBC's "This Is Us" and recently won his second Emmy, lives in Mid-City with his wife Ryan Michelle Bathe and their two sons.
